About one-fourth of the night police force left
rol-call last evening armed with warrants for
the arrest of persons who participated III a
small-szed riot on the canal, near the race. Sun
day evening. There the usual Sunday
crowd at Brighton Beach, and beer was
furnished in abundance from Maus's brew
cry. AT o'clock, when a number of half
drunk hoodlums started home they began to
fight. and they fought all the way down to the
brewery. Rocks, clubs aud missiles of all kinds
were seriously hurt Peter Brunt was struck
over the head with ball bat and Knocked sense
less, but he finally recovered and was sent to the
station house late Sunday night by patromen
Bruce and Pope. James Woods was struck on
the temple with a bowlder. and is still in a very
critical condition at his home in
the northwest part of the city.
The officers were busy investigating the
affair all day, and last evening warrants
sworn out for the arrest of about twelve of the
the participants. John Porter and Bird Rariden
were arrested last night by patrolmen Bruce
and Pope on the charge of rioting. The crowd
was imposed of both colored and white men of
the worst class. The upper canal resorts have
become the scenes of regular Sunday brawls,
and to be put under close police surveillance
in the future. Brighton Beach is outside the
city limits. and the rough elements are drawn
there every Sunday because beer is offered for
sale.
